Charmed: A Tale of Two Pipers
by Emma Harrison"And I'll stay here and deal with the painters and any Darklighters that might show up," Piper One put in, smiling. "Then you can go to P3 and take care of Rinaldo while I bake!" "Perfect!" Piper Two exclaimed. They both stood up and started for the door that led to the foyer, but Piper One suddenly paused and grabbed Piper Two's arm. She immediately pulled her hand back. It was a little bizarre touching a person who was essentially herself. Now she knew what her body looked and felt like from the outside as well as the inside. This was way more intense than a mirror image. If she dwelled on it for too long, she knew it would freak her out. "Wait a second," she said. "What about personal gain?" "Hey. This is going to make us a much happier, saner witch," Piper Two told her, swinging her hair behind her shoulder. "It's for the greater good."
Charmed: The Crimson Spell
by F. GoldsboroughPiper's eyebrows rose in surprise as she lifted out a red ribbon, knotted in the middle. Where did this come from? she wondered. She was just reaching for the phone to call information when she heard a vibrating sound behind her. She turned to see a tall metal shelving unit, loaded with heavy canned goods, teetering. She watched in shock as it began to fall toward her. Piper threw up her hands-a reaction that usually froze time. But the shelving continued to fall. For the space of a heartbeat, Piper felt stuck in place, unable to summon the power that would save her. She screamed as the shelf swayed forward and the heavy cans tumbled through the air. What's happening to me? Piper asked herself. What's going on with my powers? Why didn't they work?
Charmed: Survival of the Fittest
by Jeff MariotteThe door opened before they'd even had a chance to touch it. This time, though, they weren't met by a single, business suit-clad woman, but by four tall, muscular women dressed in pink sports bras, jogging shorts, and sneakers. Looking at their powerful physiques-broad shoulders, massive upper arms, corded thighs-Paige felt very small. Phoebe could take them, Paige thought. Between her martial arts skills and her levitation powers, even four Amazons didn't stand a chance. And these weren't real Amazons anyway, just figurative Amazons. She noticed that Phoebe had tensed, and believed her sister was probably weighing the odds as well. The women were smiling at them, but the mood had changed. Confrontation was in the air. "Ms. Winship is ready to see you now," one of them announced.
Charmed: Dark Vengeance
by Diana G. GallagherA brittle tension gripped the room as Paige sat up and flexed her fingers. She hesitated, and then boldly thrust out her hand. Remote!" Leo frowned when nothing happened. A moment later the remote control slowly dissolved into orb particles, which drifted into Paige's hand and slowly re-formed. At first glance the device seemed fine. On closer inspection, she noticed that the lettering formed nonsense words and the buttons were out of line. "Oh, boy," she winced. "That's definitely worse than yesterday." "Which is what I wanted to find out." Leo kept his tone matter-of-fact when the three sisters looked to him for clarification. "Something happened to start the power drain in the first place, and whatever it was, it happened to each of you again since yesterday." The girls looked baffled. "Nothing happened," Paige insisted. "Yes, it did," Leo said firmly. "Nothing else can account for the diminished powers and the excessive physical and emotional side effects you're all experiencing. You've all encountered something in the past few days that you've never run into before. "And whatever it was, you came into contact with it twice."
The Best of Dear Abby
by Abigail Van BurenBetween the lines of careful, caring words of advice, there is plenty of humor-for the combination of wisdom and laughter is The Best of Dear Abhy DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend is going to be twenty years old next month. I'd like to give him something nice for his birthday. What do you think he'd like? DEAR CAROL: Never mind what he'd like. Give him a tie. DEAR ABBY: I have always wanted to have my family history traced, but I can't afford to spend a lot of money on it. Any suggestions? DEAR SAM: Yes. Run for public office. DEAR ABBY: What factor do you think is the most essential if a woman is to have a lasting marriage? DEAR DOTTY: A lasting husband. DEAR ABBY: My wife sleeps in the nude. Then she showers, goes into the kitchen and fixes breakfast-still in the nude. We're newlyweds and have no kids, so I suppose there's nothing wrong with it. What do you think? DEAR REX: It's all right with me, but tell her to put on an apron when she's frying bacon. "STRAIGHTFORWARD, SENSIBLE, TRUE TO THE OLD VALUES, BUT REMARKABLY FLEXIBLE ABOUT THE NEW ONES.. .YOU GET A GOOD FEEL FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE REALLY BUGGING FOLKS OUT THERE." -The New York Times Book Review
Charmed: The Brewing Storm
by Paul RuditisPiper stared at the gun the demon was holding on her, wondering if she could blow it up without letting the demon take her power and use it against her. She ultimately decided that a bullet would do less damage than an explosion. "Look, witch," the demon said. "I don't care about you. Just let me have the Earthshaker and you can go on your merry way." "I think we both know that's not going to happen," Piper replied, shifting her body so she was in front of Muriel. If she had to, she could try to freeze time if the gun was fired. Maybe if she just tried to freeze the bullet and not the demon she wouldn't have her power reflected back. Of course, the idea of freezing a bullet heading at her at the speed of, well, a speeding bullet, was no easy task. Then again, i(j was better than the other option: death.
